As if anyone in Greenland would want the substandard American healthcare, particularly with Mr. Brain-worm toilet-licker in charge of things now. Anyone visiting that ship is more likely to come away with some new disease like measles and a prescription to horse dewormer than they are actual healthcare. Greenland should put up a giant quarantine zone around the ship.

Or in the ground, I’m not picky either one is good.

In a perfect world Vance would die from a freak couch accident, and Trump after being told his favorite sentient anal polyp was dead would be so shocked he’d have a massive instantly fatal heart attack.

Except for all the time of the maintainers that’s being wasted. Time that is very finite and that for many of these people is a thankless unpaid job that they’re donating their nights and weekends towards doing.

When a crypto wallet is lost all “money” in it is irrevocably lost with no way for anyone to ever retrieve it.

That said it would be hilarious if one of these bots hallucinated a wallet address so everyone trying to donate to it just sends their money into a black hole forever.

The problem is that if you’re traveling here you’re likely to be grabbed at customs as you’re either entering or leaving the country so whether your final destination is a blue or red state is kind of irrelevant. While the current regime is in power it’s safest for everyone to just avoid traveling to the US.

The tricky part here is that many of these reviews aren’t about how they feel about the game but rather how they feel about the developer or publisher, often based on wildly inaccurate speculation. Valve has a particularly tight rope to walk on this one because it does seem problematic to dogpile some game because of a perceived opinion that has nothing to do with the actual game itself.

One possible solution would be to add a category system to reviews that let’s reviewers correctly categorize their reviews, purchasers exclude categories they don’t care about, and Valve only removes miscategorized reviews. Categories could be something like “game contents”, “game bugs/technical issues”, “drm”, or “publisher/developer opinions”. Maybe make an entry form on the review itself for each category and you can just leave any category you don’t care about blank in your review.

This might also help solve one of the more long standing problems with Steam reviews which is that reviews of early buggy builds often linger long after those bugs have been fixed and can provide a somewhat inaccurate impression of the current state of the game.

That’s not necessarily true. Many of us actually paid import tariffs directly. For instance I had to pay ~$300 in order to get a package I ordered to clear customs. Had I not paid it would have been returned to the manufacturer.

As always piracy is a symptom not the problem. People pirate when a) they don’t have enough money or b) the experience for paying customers is significantly worse than for pirates, or c) the price of services far exceeds their perceived value. Piracy was down for a while because Netflix and Hulu were relatively cheap (or free), ad free, and the economy was doing OK so most people had a little disposable income.

Now that we’re in a recession that’s starting to look like it might turn into a depression and Netflix and Hulu (and others) have cranked the prices of their services up and stuffed them full of ads, yeah I’m not in the least surprised to see piracy surging. Every time you turn around there’s another email from some service letting you know they’re raising prices another couple bucks a month, and a bunch of people cancel their subscriptions and start sailing the high seas.

Neither party would let him. He’s the antithesis of everything Republicans stand for, and the old guard in the Democrats would black ball him even harder than they did Bernie Sanders.

Keepass (and its client variants, like KeepassXC which is pretty great) is even more secure because there is no server, just an encrypted file you can store anywhere.

And simultaneously less secure because it’s up to you to handle keeping your vault synced between various devices and most people are significantly worse at keeping systems secure than the professionals at the password managers.

Self hosting a server of some kind or using something like Keepass on a single device (with offline backups) is the most secure option, but as usual with security doing so trades significant convenience for security. For most people who are uninterested in making sure their servers are kept up to date week to week letting professionals handle it is the better option.
